Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break off the woody end of the asparagus or trim off with a knife – if you bend the asparagus at the end it should naturally snap at the right spot.
Toss the asparagus spears in olive oil and season with just a pinch of black pepper.
Cut the sheets of prosciutto in half with scissors or a knife. Wrap each spear in half a sheet of prosciutto and place on the baking sheet.
Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve

Notes

If you want to add cream cheese to this recipe, spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each piece of prosciutto prior to wrapping them around the asparagus.
